The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Maitama, has ordered the remand of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) until December 10. The decision was made by Justice Maryann Anenih during a hearing on Wednesday.
Justice Anenih’s ruling came after Bello and his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, pleaded not guilty to a 16-count charge filed against them by the EFCC. The charges include conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, and possession of unlawfully obtained property linked to an alleged N110 billion
